(Isaiah 9:2-6)

People walking in darkness
having seen the greatest light
On those living in the land
of the shadow of the death
You enlarged every nation. You increased all their joy
They rejoice in Your
presence as men do with plunder
Chorus:
For to us a child is born
For to us He gives His Son
For to us a child is born
For to us He gives His Son.
His Son
For the yoke that weighed
them down, heavy bar upon their shoulders
The rod of His oppressors
broken as Midyan’s defeat
Every warrior’s boots were
marching. Every garment rolled in blood
Will be destined all for
burning, will be fuel for the fire
To Chorus
For to us a child is born.
For to us He gives His Son
Dominion on His shoulders.
He will be called the name
Pele-Yo‘etz, El Gibbor,
Avi-‘Ad, Sar-Shalom
Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace
